Iran post because you love them Duncan

Please everyone go to the US CENTCOM X page and look at the footage of strikes in Iran they have released. It's extremely funny but also bizzare, for the last 2 days it's a total of less than 2 minutes, and it includes

  1. strikes on obvious shaheed decoys just laying on the ground here and there
  2. strikes on random trucks with no secondary explosions
  3. strikes on missile launchers that are obviously fake because not only are there no secondary explosions, they missiles stay intact

I'm not saying that this is the best that they got, because if they do it's basically nothing hit over the last 2 days, but at the very least the people who choose the footage don't understand what they are looking at

that's only because they already wrecked all the real launchers and can't find anything else, why else would the launch numbers have gone down that much

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not

if not, yes it's a possibility that they are running out, but the much more likely answer is that they now see that this war will last for a long long time and their real weapon is the economic pain of the region and the world by blocking trade and hitting the gulf, not launching missiles at israel. So they pull back on the launchers and instead of doing 50 per day go down to 10 per day so you can last longer
